Go ahead. Reward yourself.
As the holiday season edges closer, we always see a surge in sales for men’s watches. It’s the perfect gift to celebrate the year’s accomplishments, whether it was filled with career success or important family milestones.
If you crushed it this year – finish it off with a fine watch from Jonathan’s Fine Jewelers.
Just like anything else, the fine watch world has trends and styles that tend to surge this time of year. All of the guys at Jonathan’s Fine Jewelers are avid fine watch wearers, and we are completely immersed in the watch world on a daily basis. We get a first hand look at the models that gain popularity every year.
In 2015 there is no question about it – the Rolex Submariner is king. Stainless steel or gold, newer, older, it doesn’t matter. The Submariner is a great watch, and we highly recommend it as an addition to your Rolex collection this holiday season.
There are a couple of options to consider if you are thinking about gifting yourself or a loved one a Submariner or any other fine watch this year. The bezel type, model year, and metal type will all have an effect on the price point.
A few tips on Submariner prices:
Older Submariner Models
Going with a late model Submariner could save you a few thousand dollars! We are able to sell excellent condition 90’s models in the $4,000 range, while early 2000’s models generally sell in the $6,000 range.
Metal Type
The type of metal has a significant impact on the Submariner’s price. All stainless Submariners have the lowest price point, while the two-toned Submariner models are higher in price. Want to go all out? A solid yellow gold Submariner with a ceramic bezel is the watch for you! Solid gold Submariners bring a significantly higher price than their two-toned and all stainless counterparts.
Date vs. No Date
Regardless of the model, Submariners that have the date feature will cost more than models with no date on the dial.
